Houses at the end of Government Row
This terrace is the northernmost building on Enfield Island. The road comes to a dead end just beyond them, where the channels of the River Lea diverge.

Cottages seen across the River Lee Navigation
The original River Lea flowed 70 miles from Leagrove Marsh near Luton to the River Thames at Bow Creek. The River Lee Act of 1766 provided for the construction of 15 new cuts to straighten the course of the river by eliminating loops which made it difficult to navigate. This is one of those cuts and hence it is a navigation rather than a river. The Lea passes just the other side of these workers' cottages which are in Government Row. Historically the river is spelled Lea while the navigation is Lee.
Beyond the River Lea is the new development of Enfield Island Village on the site of the former Royal Arms Factory which was given its formal title in 1854 and manufactured the famous Lee Enfield rifle which linked the two names associated with the spot.
